Microchip: DSPICDEM 2 Embedded Development Board - DM300018

The dsPICDEM™ 2 Development Board is a development and evaluation tool that helps create embedded applications using dsPIC30F Digital Signal Controllers. Sockets are provided for 28 and 40-pin devices in the motor control family and 18, 28 and 40-pin devices in the general purpose and sensor family.
The board includes a sample dsPIC30F4011 Digital Signal Controller in the 40-pin motor control socket, a power supply regulator, crystal oscillators for each set of sockets, an ICD connector for the MPLAB® ICD 2 In-Circuit Debugger and both RS-232 and CAN ports for external communication. In addition, the board is populated with prototyping hardware, including LED indicators, push button switches, a potentiometer, a temperature sensor and a 2x16 LCD screen. All pins on all the devices are accessible through headers.

Key features:

• Multiple sockets for 18, 28 and 40-pin PDIP and SPDIP devices
• Sample application programs complete with MPLAB IDE workspace and project files provided for supported dsPIC30F devices
• dsPIC30F4011 40-pin PDIP sample device installed on the board
• 5V regulator provides VDD and AVDD from a 9V DC power supply.
• MPLAB ICD 2 In-Circuit Debugger ready
•  
• Options for selecting alternate debugging channels
• MPLAB ICE 4000 ready
• RS-232 interface
• Controller Area Network (CAN) interface
• Temperature sensor and analog potentiometer to simulate A/D inputs
• 2 push button switches and 2 LED indicators to simulate digital input and output
• 2x16 ASCII Character LCD with SPI™ interface
• Access to all pins on the dsPIC30F device sockets via 2x40-pin headers
